READY TO SETTLE
Leave me in this eddy
in this idle tidal pool
I am ready
to settle
not to settle for
to settle with
to settle down
to settle into
a steady
loving
with you
I am steady
in an eddy
floating
on a float
Gentle rocking
from wavelets lapping
Gentle rustling
from leaves brushing
while I'm steady
never better
like butter soaking
into toast
and I'm ready
like flannel bedding
that keeps me
warm as toast
Leave me in this eddy
in this idle tidal pool
I need your steady loving
as time flows by
And I want you to know
I am ready
steady
to settle
not to settle for
to settle with
down
into
a steady
loving
with you
Sometimes
I unsettle
the settling
Sometimes
you pull back
we lose track
crack
the steady loving
But I need you to know
I am ready
for the steady
settled
living with you
I am aching
for the steady
settled
living with you
Autumn sunshine
heats the coolness
Leaves glow
tinged with brown
as I'm steady
floating
coasting
soaking
in the sun
Toast
with jam and butter
with juice and coffee
with yogurt and fresh fruit
is settling in my stomach
while I'm readying
for lunch
while I'm holding steady
in an eddy
floating
on a float
And I want you to know
I am ready
steady
to settle
not to settle for
to settle with
down
into
a steady
loving
with you
Leave me in this eddy
in this idle tidal pool
I bask in your steady loving
as time flows by
And I want you to know
I am ready
steady
to settle
not to settle for
to settle with
to settle down
to settle into
a steady
loving
with you
You move
with determination
across the field
stand steady
on the shore
watch me floating
on the float
in the eddy
You're unsure
should you get wet?
but you breathe
contentment
in and out
Our gazes meet
hold steady
Ready
Ready
Steady
Ready to settle

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
